About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Exploratory Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Selected Oral Formulations of MMV390048 Administered in the Fasted State to Healthy Volunteers

This study will be conducted in a single centre, as an open single dose two parallel cohorts design with oral doses of MMV390048 administered in healthy male and female subjects between 18 to 55 years of age. Subjects will be screened within 28 days prior to entering the study. On Day 1 of the study each subject will receive one of the two MMV390048 prototype formulations, at a dose of 40 mg with 240 mL of water. Subjects will be discharged on Day 3 after 48h post-dose and they will attend the unit for follow-up visits on Days 5, 7, 10, 14, 19, 26 and 29.

Read the detailed description

A Phase 1 exploratory study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of selected oral formulations of MMV390048 administered in healthy volunteers. It is anticipated that eighteen (18) healthy male and female subjects are to be included in the study, however there is an option to include an additional cohort of 9 subjects. The optional cohort would receive a single dose of the formulation considered to have the least pharmacokinetic variability with a suitable safety and tolerability profile with food or milk. Timing of PK samples may be adjusted in accordance with evolving data and dosing schedule. Additional or fewer PK samples may be taken in accordance with evolving data and dosing schedule to establish full protocol specific PK profile. The study specific maximum blood volume taken will not be exceeded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MMV390048 formulation A and MMV390048 formulation B in people with Malaria, run by Medicines for Malaria Venture at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Aug 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cmax: Peak Plasma Concentration (time frame: Up to 672 hours post-dose). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02554799, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2019.
